I have used them for R/C Aircraft and Cars, not for trains. But with the Aircraft and Cars they never once goofed anything.

The only HORROR story I have, concerning Tower Hobbies, is...

I have never found any company that even comes close to their competence after switching from R/C to Trains. While there are some good online sources, Tower Hobbies was and is the best!

Their service and accuracy was always top rate. I did business with them for about 25 years.

I also used to buy alot of Radio Control items from them. They are a very good company to do business with.

Tower is big in car and airplane radio control. They ship from two warehouses. I used to buy from them a lot when I was doing radio control with my son. Their stock control is accurate, if the web site says they have it, it will ship the next day. 5 stars.
